LAKE COUNTY -- The Lake County Sheriff's Office (LCSO) Narcotics Task Force arrested eight people, eradicated more than 1,100 marijuana plants and seized 430.3 pounds of processed marijuana Friday following the service of a search warrant.

On Oct. 3, narcotics detectives secured a search warrant for the property located in the 21000 block of Bartlett Springs Road in Clearlake Oaks, according to LCSO Public Information Officer Sgt. Steve Brooks.

At 7 a.m. Friday, the Narcotics Task Force served the search warrant with the assistance of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, Bureau of Land Management, Mendocino County Sheriff's Office and the Lakeport Police Department.

Brooks said the LCSO SWAT Team made entry into the 300-acre parcel using the Mendocino County Sheriff's armored Bearcat vehicle.

They entered the main home, where they contacted and detained Joseph Patrick Stewart, 36, of Glenhaven without incident.

Brooks stated Stewart was allegedly in possession of three firearms, one of which was reportedly modified and determined to be illegal to possess.

During a search of an outbuilding adjacent to the main house, narcotics detectives contacted and detained Kyle Lamore Littlejohn, 42, of Springvale.

Brooks stated when narcotics detectives entered the processing area of the grow site, six people allegedly fled into the brush in an attempt to evade law enforcement.

Brooks stated 1,141 marijuana plants were eradicated from 11 separate grow sites on the property. A total of 430.3 pounds of processed marijuana was reportedly located in the processing area of the grow site, along with a loaded 9mm Beretta handgun.

Stewart was arrested on charges of cultivation of marijuana, possession of marijuana for sale, being armed while in the commission of a felony, being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm and possession of a short-barreled shotgun.

Littlejohn was arrested on charges of cultivation of marijuana, possession of marijuana for sale and an outstanding felony warrant for arson out of Tulare County.

All eight people were transported and booked into the Lake County Hill Road Correctional Facility.
